showing early?

[caityc88]

Im only six weeks but already feel like i might be starting to show a bit.  I didnt have a flat tummy before but just feels like i have extra weight there.  My food intake has not increases that much except for saltine crackers through out the day to keep my nausea under control, is anyone else showing this early?  It is my first pregnancy and it just is discouraging since showing is expected around 12 weeks :/

[caityc88]

Does anyone else get bloating to the point that it is painful?

Not to discourage you but baby isn't big enough to show. It's most likely bloating.

Actually everybody is different I didn't start showing until nearly 6 months or that's when everyone in our families started saying in did. It could be bloat. I was bloated from 5 weeks until about 7/8 weeks though I was extremely nauseous. My weight loss didn't show until 2nd trimester quick is why I guess I started showing later.
But don't fret dear it's not the baby, it's more likely gas and bloating.

I started showing around 7 weeks. I am now 40+3 have gained 36 lbs. Everyone is different

Thanks everyone for your advice and support!  Now if i could just get this naseua under control lol

Single baby for me, and I started showing at 8 weeks. Don't worry. It's mostly your uterus stretching out in preparation,  and lots of bloating/water retention.

Agreed, probably just bloating. I'm 8 weeks and feel the same way. My pants were actually tighter 2 weeks ago then they are now. I may actually be showing a bit now because I'm so short (5'0"), but I've definitely been bloated as well.

I feel the same hun...the Dr says its bloating it looks and feels like I am showing a bit.  Its pretty cool though so early and its like you do t even notice you rubbing the baby lol enjoy it.

The same thing happened to me. Right after I found out I was pregnant I started to get bigger and had trouble fitting into my pants. By 8 weeks my coworkers thought I was showing, but I'm quite short so bloating and my organs moving around makes me look bigger than I feel I should. When I first got pregnant I could hardly eat anything cause I'd get full so fast, so I know it wasn't over eating. My dr says it's been a normal pregnancy and I'm at 32 weeks now.

Twins are not in my family or my husband's so i do not think it is too likely

[Ashley8669]

Are u sure it's not twins! Same thing happened to me and I didn't got to the doctor until I was already 16 weeks and he told me I was having twins and I started crying and called him a liar lol but I did start showing a lot sooner, and I was just overwhelmed and scared. I am 25 weeks tomorrow and having a boy and a girl and getting excited. Not trying to scare you but that could be a possibility.

You may be it could also be bloating but each women carries different

Everyone is different. Don't compare yourself.
